Hi everyone! I’m Miroku from the Asura server. Over the lifespan of Pet Food Alpha, I have been what some would call a news hound. Being a college student, I often find myself looking through various forums and studying up on game mechanics, as procrastination is often viewed as going hand in hand with good hard learning ;) Because of this,  the hosts of this wonderful Podcast have given me the opportunity to report my findings first hand to the best Final Fantasy XI community on the Internet. I hope to bring you enjoyable and informative content as well as get to know the community better. ^^

This year has been simply amazing for Pet Food Alpha. We’ve strengthened our ties with the community that we work so hard to please, we’ve raised money to help children in need, we’ve covered an event half way around the world with two of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of talking to, we’ve covered our second Fan Festival, we’ve sparked an internet story that ended up making Square Enix change their game. We’ve done a lot this year and it’s because of the support of all of you! Our listners and readers.

On behalf of the entire staff of Pet Food Alpha, we’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The purpose of this forum is to share your maze designs with other members of the community! Found a great match of a voucher and runes that are ideal for the solo player? Post your design so others can try it out! Who knows? We may even feature some of them right here on the main site!

We’ll be covering the special battlefield “The Swarm” as well as talk about some content that hasn’t been released yet! We’ll tell you everything there is to know about Mobling Maze Mongers so that when it’s finally put into the game you’ll be more prepared to tackle the event head on!

We also have some thing special planned for RadioXI so keep an eye out for more information!

Just got back from CA a few hours ago. After a few other things get taken care of we’ll release the episode for this years FanFest! We’ve got audio from the event including the dev panel! We’ll go through it and pick out the juicy bits and get the episode up hopefully by Thursday.
I’d like to personally apologize for the delay with the episode. Yesterday during the opening ceremonies my laptop BSOD’d so that pretty much shot any chance of recording and editing an episode to release that night.

In the mean time.. look what i dug up on the creator’s voice blog. Is that… Miroku and Liseth? I think it might be…
